New art posted in one place.

[redactedshapes]

hello! i've been a big fan of your art since the early control days. I was recently playing zero parades and was wondering if you're planning to make any fanart for it? just curious ^^

My head was immediately flooded with ideas upon finishing it, but I can't promise I'll get something done any time soon!

For now I'm salty at the fact I've done two playthroughs and haven't gotten a call from a certain someone, and I'm currently going through a third one with cheats enabled to get all the info available from passive skill checks.

But yeah, things are being planned :)

happy pride month specifically to Hershel's raging lesbian Instincts

I have been emotionally wrecked and devastated by Zero Parades: For Dead Spies.

I spent nearly an hour staring at the title screen after rolling credits, focusing on the music and trying not to sob as I recovered my breath and my heartbeat came down after going through the final sequence.

Too many things that brought me joy to list them all. The vulgarity, the failed skill checks. Hershel's (extremely) Confirmed Homosexual Tendencies. I loved her to pieces.

Doppelgäng was my protector until Shadowplay became my guide. Then, Coordination and Nerve when I started feeling paranoid.

Personalism, Poetics, Cold Read and Entanglement resulted in emotionally devastating insights.

If you're looking for an extra potent bittersweet pill, ask about her day.

If you're a Jesse/Emily shipper (which you probanly are if you're following me) and sometimes think about the Problematic(tm) stuffs if they'd get together, then play Zero Parades because holy shit man the power imbalance is so delicious and the homoeroticism is so intense and tragic and canon and gut churning and if you start peeling off the layers and contemplate the what ifs it becomes so, so fucked up I need more

While I understand the desire to make Big Art entirely and viscerally I think it's worth considering that small art often leaves an outsized impact on its audience. Short stories, teensy indie games, short films, sketches on scrap paper, carved or sculpted figures that would fit in the palm of your hand, etc. etc. are all things that, when they hit your psyche at just the right angle, can stay lodged in there forever specifically because they are small. It is not necessary for a thing to be sprawling for it to have impact.

The really unfortunate thing about mental health progress is that sometimes you realize you've made it in the form of "wow, I haven't felt this bad in a fucking while"

Saga was beginning to see why Casey disliked the woods so much.

this was supposed to be a quick painting to soothe the soul - I always forget how difficult painting is :')
